PSA A Note on Moderation and Transparency

113 Upvotes

We want to be transparent about a recent moderation issue.

Over the past several days, the mod team has received repeated messages pressuring us to manually approve posts that were removed following community reports. We understand that having a post removed can be frustrating, and anyone is welcome to contact us through Modmail if they believe a moderation decision was made incorrectly.

However, repeatedly messaging moderators, demanding that content be approved, or attempting to pressure moderators into overriding removals will not influence our decisions.

We've also seen activity from another subreddit directing attention toward posts and moderation decisions in this community. The moderator of that community has been banned from this subreddit following repeated moderation issues.

We want to be very clear that no one should retaliate or go to another community to contact users, report content, vote, or engage on our behalf. This is not a callout or an invitation to get involved.

We try to give users the benefit of the doubt and work with people whenever possible. Moderation decisions will continue to be based on our community rules and what we believe is best for the subreddit, not on outside pressure.

We're sharing this simply for transparency and to keep the community informed. Thank you to everyone who contributes positively.

Today I learned it’s fully legal to hit a pedestrian with your uninsured car

Got hit by a car today and the guy who did it got to drive away with only a ticket from the cops for the uninsured car.
Now I’m left footing the bill for my medical expenses, as I just lost my insurance.
We live in a hell scape.

There is a website to review Diet Coke and ONLY Diet Coke at NYC restaurants

dcnyc.boondoggle.studio

279 Upvotes

Purists (sickos) know that all Diet Coke is not created the same. Fountain, can, plastic bottle, those annoying little glass bottles that cost $10, Coke freestyle machine - all God’s children unique in their own taste and drinking experience. Then you get to presentation, is it served with a slice of lemon? How about a cup of ice? And if it is a fountain drink, is the syrup to seltzer ratio right? These are the questions that matter and I'm glad there's finally a place to answer them.

Welcome to r/NewYorkCity! Your thoughts and opinions matter here, so feel free to subscribe and participate!

Rules:

Posts must be related to New York City (which includes all five boroughs, not just Manhattan).
No blatant or distasteful self-promoting of your own blog/social media/killer app/business. Obvious spammers and repeat offenders will be perma-banned. However, if you have some quality original content to post, you may tastefully link to a source in the comments.
No sharing of personal information, doxxing, or witch hunts. No sharing private photos or videos of others taken without consent. Offenders will be perma-banned.
ABSOLUTELY NO ADVOCATING/INCITING VIOLENCE! Being a dick is fine (we're New Yorkers after all) but using language that is abusive or discriminatory will not be tolerated, and will result in a perma-ban.
Your account must be older than 24 hours to submit and comment. This is to prevent spam.
No Polls or Surveys: This is not /r/SampleSize.
Respect Laws: This is not the place to sell/buy drugs, prostitutes, guns/weapons, or other contraband. Attempting to do so will result in a perma-ban.
News Articles: Only one article per news event (articles with new information are exempt). Post title must match linked article headline.
Political posts are allowed, but must have a non-leading title. Posts about events for a specific candidate or political issue are allowed, as are posts intended to foster discussion about political issues/candidates. *For Example: "Don't forget to vote Yes on Prop X" or "Vote for Y Candidate" are not allowed. "Rally for Y Candidate on Date" is allowed. "What do you think about Prop X?" is allowed.
PHOTOGRAPHY ONLY ALLOWED ON WEEKENDS! Weekday photo posts will be removed. When you do post your photos, please only post one each weekend day. No spamming your entire camera roll. Artwork and historical photos are permitted during weekdays.
Limit Submissions to No More than Two (2) per 24 Hour Period. Unless if it’s something that has to be mentioned or shared & you believe it’s absolutely necessary, please limit your submissions to no more than two per 24 hour period. It’s alright to share one submission, or two, but it’s excessive to share 3 or more per 24 hour period, which at that point will be removed as spam & action taken. This is implemented in order to not have certain users inundate the subreddit with their content, and give others a chance to share content.
